Misdirection...

When I woke up this morning I was fully prepared to start my networking frenzy. I wanted to call all my friends/family and get ideas on anyone they might know in the sporting world. Instead I spent time submitting my blog to all the search engines. After 3 days of blogging with no search engine support I had 49 visitors so far today. I have signed up for a couple of free trial search engine optimizations and submission programs. I really like the setup they have at engineseeker.com. I have used them in the past for our website at work, they are very helpful when talking to you on the phone and actually listen to what your vision and budget are. I received a couple of freebies from them and for that I am grateful.

The reason I am going to spend a few days on getting the blog setup submitted and optimized is so I can get some financial support thru the Google advertising. I know it sounds corny and miserly but between the cost of school, living, and supporting my sports agent development things get tight and every little bit helps. Tomorrow I am going to link a few of the good sports agent related sites I have found, and finalize website submissions. I would really like to bolster the visitors so that we can all get some good ideas / advice from other aspiring agents.

Today I started reading "How to be Sports Agent" by Mel Stein. At first glance I wasn't sure that I was going to impressed by it because It is written by a sports agent who is native to Europe. I will have a better report on this book by tomorrow. Lately I have been cutting back on the unproductive TV/Internet time and concentrating more on accomplishing my visions and goals in school and the Sports Agent world.

It is my second day on the revised sleeping schedule and things seemed rather normal today. I got about 5 hours of sleep last night because I had to wake up early for a meeting at work. As of late my energy levels haven't been up to par, but I am completely prepared to blame that on my slacking at the gym. Tomorrow I am going to make it a point to start the gym routine back up again. I paid for the full year might as well use it.
